Where do I begin?

In March of this year (99), I started working for a division
of a large corporation (3Billion)Immediatedly this 
production worker (man) started to sexually harrass me. 
I kept it quiety and told him to stop what he was doing.
He was rubbing his genitals on my behind when he would grab
something off of the table(stapler).  I did not tell HR 
about this incident because I wanted to handle this on 
my own.. Afraid of retaliation from mgmt. Needless to say, 
it happened anyway.  The production worker jumped the gun
and thought that if he would tell his side of the story to 
his supervisor.  

After lunch, I was pulled in to an office with the production
worker, his supervisor and my supervisor.  Immediately, his 
supervisor asked me why I was accusing him of sexual 
harrassment...I told him that he was touching me in a sexual
manner. His supervisor, called me a liar and that there
was no difference from the production worker touching me 
vs. another production worker. What he meant by this was 
that I had let another production worker(a friend)give me a 
hug. A clear point that it wasn't a sexual intent on his part
I walked out of the room in tears and headed back to my desk
packing all of my things until my supervisor reassured me 
that it would be handled better from the facility manager.
I trusted her until he started to ask me question that would
incinuate that I provoked the situation.  The facility mgr
knew I was pissed off at his ridiculous questions.

Well to make a long story short.  I was planning on leaving
..had interviews but they had shortened my stay.

Several hell months later,  my husband and I were having
trouble with our marriage..(we are working things out now)
I began to see someone and that someone was a co-worker. 
Yes, it was very secretive!Until we ended it with threaten
one another.  He threaten to tell everyone in the plant. 
I did not want to be humilated. So, I threaten to tell 
on his new lover (yes, she is married). Eventhough, I did
not do it because my husband and I wanted to work on our
relationship and I didn't want to sound like this jealous
women who was still married.

So, myself and this co-worker closed the chaper for good, at 
least I thought so until he accused me of sexual harrassment.
He supposively has e-mails from me that contains explicit 
material.  Eventhough, I did not send it from work but home
I was fired. They believed him! This past Friday they 
(facility mgr and my mgr)pulled me into the conference room
and told me they have decided to terminate me.  I had asked
what the grounds of termination were and they had responded 
to me of create an uncomfortable environment for this co-worker,
getting into HR files, and sending porno material over Lotus
notes.  This is all a lie!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I had told them that
their grounds for termination were ludicrist.  I asked to see
proof and they responded to me that they are not going to
get into it right now.  What the hell!!!! I did not sign 
any liability forms nor termination forms.  My husband & I 
who was present with me walked out of the room. They absolutely
do not have a thing on me.  I was wrongfully accused!  The 
facility mgr wanted me out since, I pushed the corporation
to straighten up their act, considering they already have a 
3 year lawsuit (sexual harrassment) against them.  
I confronted all the men (3) that gave me a hard time about
my claim months ago. Now they have won..for right now.  I
will make sure they get what they deserve.  I want them
fired@!!!! I do not care about money because I am confident
that I can excel at another company.

After this whole ordeal, I am glad that my husband
stuck by me!  He is very ticked off of the whole situation 
with the company and do not understand why they had accused
me of making the environment uncomfortable to a consenting 
adult who conducting this whole joke!!!!

I have heard about women getting fired over from having a 
relationship with someone else in the workplace and how 
the man still remains there.  Can anyone share their experience
with me that is similiar ??  anissa
